At that moment, rather than accepting the heir's request to call back later, the butler delivered devastating news that completely changed the urgency and priority of the situation.

“Young master, I am deeply sorry, but I absolutely cannot call you back later because this is a life-and-death emergency that requires immediate action,” the butler said with obvious distress and urgency in his voice.

The butler's tone carried the gravity of someone delivering the worst possible news to a family member. “Your father has just fallen severely ill, and from the medical assessment and the current look of things, the doctors think he may not be able to survive this crisis.”

“You need to come back home immediately - running if necessary - because time is absolutely critical in this situation,” the butler continued with desperate urgency about the heir's need to return to his father's side.

The butler's voice became even more urgent as he addressed the medical situation.

    That was when Mr. Timothy, upon seeing David standing there with such calm confidence despite being surrounded by dozens of armed guards, literally couldn't help but started smiling with genuine amusement.His smile was that of a powerful man who believed he held all the cards in this deadly game they were about to play.The patriarch's eyes gleamed with anticipation and barely contained malice as he studied David's composed demeanor.Then he stood up slowly and deliberately from his luxurious seat, his movement commanding the attention of everyone in the immediate vicinity.Benjamin also stood up beside him in a show of solidarity and shared purpose, their alliance now completely visible and undeniable.And Mr. Timothy said with theatrical pleasure and obvious satisfaction, “This is actually perfect timing on your part!”His voice carried the confidence of a man who believed he was in complete control of the situation.“You just came at exactly the right time for what I had planned f

    And the security guard also confirmed his thoughts.However, as David processed what had just happened at the family mansion, he didn't know why the security personnel just gave him this crucial information so easily and without any resistance.This struck him as extremely unusual and potentially suspicious behavior from trained professionals.Because people of this prominent stature and influence in high society, when you come to their house in this direct manner without prior arrangement, they are definitely not going to literally give you the whereabouts of the patriarch just because you asked.Standard security protocol would dictate much more caution and verification procedures.They will typically ask you to book a proper appointment through official channels, or inquire whether the patriarch is expecting you, or demand to know the nature of your business.But David was surprised that they literally just told him where the patriarch might be located without any of these normal s

    Then David literally reached his hand inside his jacket pocket and brought out a small, ornate vial containing a mysterious liquid.It was a liquid elixir that glowed with an otherworldly light, clearly something far beyond ordinary medicine.David carefully opened the vial and put it to the old man's lips, saying with gentle authority, “Take this carefully.” “This is going to make you feel much better very quickly, I guarantee it.”And immediately, the old man took the elixir without hesitation, trusting completely in David's supernatural abilities.The moment the liquid touched his tongue, instantly his wounds started not completely healing, but the bleeding stopped and the pain began to fade away.He wasn't feeling the excruciating pain anymore that had been wracking his elderly body just moments before.And he was suddenly having much more energy flowing through his veins, as if years had been taken off his life.Then his voice became much more clear and strong now, no longer the

    As soon as the boss heard what David had just said with such chilling finality, his eyes widened in absolute horror and the color drained completely from his face.The realization that his life was still forfeit crashed down on him like a tidal wave of despair.And he started saying with a wavering voice that trembled with desperate confusion and fear, “I thought you literally had agreed to spare me!”His voice rose in panicked protest. “I thought you literally had forgiven me for my terrible mistakes!” “I gave you everything you asked for - the information, the phone, the contact with The Ghost!”His tone carried desperate reasoning. “I thought that meant you would let me live in exchange for my cooperation!”Immediately, that was when David then told him with cold authority to keep his mouth shut, his voice cutting through the boss's desperate pleading like a blade.“There's nothing like 'I thought' or anything of that nature in this situation,” David said with merciless clarity.

    Immediately, the boss raised up both his hands in a gesture of complete surrender and desperate pleading, his palms facing David as if to ward off the invisible death that had claimed all his men.And he said with frantic sincerity, his voice breaking with emotion, “I swear, I swear on everything I hold sacred!”His confession poured out desperately. “I never knew that this place literally meant so much to you on such a deep, personal level!” “I just used my best description of the situation, knowing fully well that you might come if I used this particular location as bait!”His pleading grew more intense.“I swear to God, I never knew the true depth of your connection to this place, I never knew it would trigger such power in you!”His voice trembled with fear and remorse. “Please forgive me for my ignorance and my terrible mistake!” “And I'm willing to make amends for it in any way you require!”So at that moment, after hearing this confession and processing the information abou

    At that moment, upon hearing what David had just said with such deadly certainty, the boss found himself trapped between two impossible choices that would both lead to his destruction.He knew fully well that revealing client information was against the sacred rules and regulations of their criminal organization, a violation that carried severe consequences.Information of a client being given out to outsiders simply means that their organization isn't strong enough to protect confidential contracts.It would prove that their organization isn't trustworthy enough to literally handle any matters of this sensitive magnitude, destroying their reputation in the underworld.Such betrayal would mark him and his remaining associates for death by their own organization's enforcement arm.And knowing fully well again that if he doesn't give out this crucial information to David, it simply means that he's going to die right here, right now.His entire lineage and everything connected to him is
